Paris in the 1970s was so wonderful I wandered through it streets and places for ten hours non-stop on the first day of a ten day stay. I walked so much that I lost 10lbs (unintentionally) before I boarded the train for Southern Germany. I would relive that experience if time travel was possible.


That's a really good memory. I wonder how they dressed. I want to visit England when Mary Quant's style was taking off. Just to see.

I might have been that girl in the Quant dress that you saw there at that time, I lived in London for a while before leaving for Paris and Europe.

It was Winter in Paris during my visit then, February 1977, so the focus was dressing for warmth, primarily. But the buildings!! That was where the style was, and the public places. I loved every single moment of those ten days.

You might want to Google "Jean Shrimpton at the Melbourne Cup wearing no gloves". This was in the early 1960s, and wonderful model Jean Shrimpton introduced Australia to the Quant style, which was unprecedented there. They were outraged!! ! (How dare she not wear a hat and gloves, the papers screamed) but Shrimpton wore it with style and grace. And despite the hateful reception, it caught on in the years afterward :)

New Zealand was perhaps a bit more progressive..

I already saw that and some clippings of that. It was more how pretty she was if she had been ordinary, people wouldn't care. I think a lot of envy was involved or fascination, NTs can show genuine admiration in either all out worshipping a person or hateful envy.. I think ASD ppl don't do either unless its learned behaviour to assimilate. Obsession is not worshipping but that's what we have to balance out...

I only scored 11 on the EQ test. So took the EQ/Systemizer test, and again, only scored 11. No wonder I can't connect to people!

I'm a white person, but also an Abenaki person. I'm not 'part' Abenaki, I'm on the band register; I'm not 'part' just like I'm not 'part' Canadian, I'm just Canadian.

Because my own identity is complex I find other people's identities really interesting.

I also find issues like the situation with the Cherokee and the people descended from slaves once owned by Cherokee fascinating because it seems abhorrent in my mind to disown them as members of their nation relative to how Abenaki treat mixed ancestry members.

I was born too soon. I was born 20 years too soon.

Pessimists pisses me off. Optimists pisses me off. Realists pisses me off too.

Surrealists? Entertaining as they can be, they can also just as annoying.
Opportunists pisses me off, because I envy them and because of their lack of empathy.
Sadists pisses me off as well, because of their lack of sympathy and I want to destroy one.

Yet sympthethics pisses me off. Empathetics pisses me off.



So what constantly resonates with me? I don't damn know. I wish I don't really care. I've been like this for as long as I could remember, yet I was not raised like this nor should've turned out like this. Disproportionately angry, mistrusting, closed off and resisting.
This isn't even what it looked like in both sides of my family, that even includes the maltreated ones.

Something probably cursed me. Somebody should exorcise me or something. :skull:

I have only ever been sexually attracted to one man.

I am more of a Marvel Comics fan than a DC Comics fan.

I did the thing for DSM 4 or 6 (cannot remember whether the V came before the I) from a book created for parents and teachers.

I did it especially in retrospect of myself as a kid age 5-6. From everything I remember about myself doing as well as what others said.

If my parents had had the sense to take me I mean. It came out almost checking all categories save for about 3 points overall.

DSM IV. The current version is 5, so most likely the next version will be called 6, not VI.
